Pence said, “I have great respect for John Lewis and for his contributions particularly to the civil rights movement. I was deeply disappointed to see someone of his stature question the legitimacy of Donald Trump’s election as president and say he’s not attending the inauguration. I hope he reconsiders both positions.”
